answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>I recognise the impact reliability has on commuters and leisure travellers. From a tourism perspective, we have seen a strong recovery on the Brighton route, and at Gatwick Airport. Performance in recent weeks has unfortunately been impacted by a number of incidents including flooding, infrastructure issues and trespass incidents, as well as industrial action. Improving performance is a key area of focus for Govia Thameslink Railway, Network Rail and the Department.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/02/2023 09:53:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>OPG are working hard to reduce the length of time that customers are currently waiting for their LPAs to be registered. To tackle the backlog of applications that arose during the pandemic and meet the increased demand for services, OPG have hired extra staff and teams are working overtime and across multiple shift patterns to ensure customers receive their LPAs as quickly as possible. OPG have introduced process efficiencies and continue to make sure they are doing all they can to improve the application journey for customers. These measures are starting to take effect and customers should see waiting times begin to reduce.</p><p>The government is currently supporting the Powers of Attorney Private Members Bill led by Stephen Metcalfe MP. This Bill will facilitate changes to modernise the LPA service, with the aim to increase safeguards, improve user access and achieve sustainability for the OPG while keeping the LPA affordable for the public. It is expected that these changes could also have a positive impact on the time taken to register LPAs.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 08/02/2023 17:57:23 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2023 answer text <p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport works closely with organisations across the sector to support and champion public libraries in England. Through the first round of the Libraries Improvement Fund, we are investing £5 million in 25 library services to upgrade their buildings and technology, equipping them to meet the changing needs of local communities. Decisions regarding the second round of the Fund – which will offer another £5 million of investment – will be made shortly.</p><p>Additionally, in September 2022 the Government appointed Baroness Sanderson of Welton as chairman of a new advisory panel to help develop a new strategy to make sure public libraries are providing the best possible service for their communities. More detail can be found <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/baroness-sanderson-to-help-develop-new-public-libraries-strategy" target="_blank">here</a>. To date she has had numerous meetings with organisations with an interest in public libraries’ work, and has led two roundtable sessions. The first on 13 January in Nottinghamshire focused on the contribution public libraries make to cultural and creative enrichment and the second on 27 January in Ipswich discussed their contribution to health and wellbeing. A further seven roundtables will be held between February and May, in libraries across England, each focusing on a specific theme, based on the seven Strategic Outcomes in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/libraries-deliver-ambition-for-public-libraries-in-england-2016-to-2021/libraries-deliver-ambition-for-public-libraries-in-england-2016-to-2021" target="_blank">Libraries Deliver: Ambition for Public Libraries in England 2016 to 2021</a>, plus sessions on governance and innovation.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 30/01/2023 14:01:02 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

uin	131338
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>The significant increase in the numbers of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children arriving in the UK has placed incredible pressure on the asylum system. Out of necessity, and with the children’s best interests in mind, we have arranged for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children to be accommodated on an emergency and temporary basis in hotels whilst placements with local authorities are being vigorously pursued.</p><p>We recognise hotel accommodation is a temporary means to accommodate the increased number of UASC arriving and are only ever a contingency option and not a long-term solution.</p><p>The Home Office does not have, and therefore cannot discharge, duties under Part 3 of the Children Act 1989. It is for the local authority where an unaccompanied child is located to consider its duties under the Children’s Act 1989.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 08/02/2023 15:21:30 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
